A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 35 - Defending the Meaning of the Lord's Prayer, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. In this episode we continue to discuss John Mark Comer's misuse of Matthew 5:5-6. Comer claims that we need to learn to hide - to find a secret place - to pray. We show that Jesus was warning about hypocrisy, not prescribing a special location to pray. (duration 00:24:54) Click here to play

What if autoimmune disease is not an overactive immune system, but a loss of immune tolerance? In our latest episode, I sit down with Dr. Russell Jaffe, MD, PhD, CCN, a pioneer in integrative and functional medicine, to unpack the difference between suppressing symptoms and restoring true immune balance. We explore the concept of immune competence, why inflammation often reflects a repair deficit, and how the body's innate intelligence can be supported rather than silenced. Dr. Jaffe challenges the conventional "anti" model of medicine and instead emphasizes evoking repair through bioavailable nutrition and targeted lifestyle strategies. We discuss autoimmune disease, immune tolerance, advanced biomarkers, and the critical role of nutrients like vitamin C in cellular repair and resilience. This conversation reframes longevity as healthspan and vitality, reminding us that sustainable healing begins by restoring balance at the systems level. If you are ready to rethink inflammation, immunity, and what true healing looks like, this episode is for you.   Key takeaways: Transformation through Adversity: Tyler Bramlett's career shifted due to personal injuries, leading him to develop a fitness philosophy focused on movement freedom and longevity rather than aesthetics. Critique of Traditional Fitness Culture: Tyler discusses the toxic narratives in the fitness industry that drive people towards self-loathing and unhealthy pursuits of physical perfection. Personalized Approach to Fitness: Through We Shape, Tyler emphasizes the importance of customized workouts that honor individual needs, capabilities, and health conditions. Movement Snacks for Health: Tyler suggests incorporating small, mindful movement practices throughout the day to enhance mobility and health without the rigidity of structured workouts. Mindset and Community: A supportive community and a positive mindset are crucial for real health transformations, shifting the focus from external validation to internal well-being.   More About Tyler Bramlett:   Tyler Bramlett is a movement coach, father, and Co-founder of WeShape whose path was reshaped by a cycling accident that shattered his femur and permanently damaged his knee. Unable to return to traditional, appearance-driven fitness routines, he began a 15-year healing journey that included multiple surgeries and deep study in functional anatomy, biomechanics, and rehabilitation. Through working with top physical therapists and coaches, he discovered that real transformation comes from moving smarter, not pushing harder. This led him to reject shame-based fitness culture and create an approach centered on alignment, mindful movement, and what he calls "movement freedom" — the ability to live without feeling trapped in a body that hurts. After building and later stepping away from a multi-million-dollar fitness company that ranked on the Inc. 500 for three consecutive years, Tyler and his wife founded WeShape to challenge the belief that worth is tied to appearance. His work now sits at the intersection of movement, psychology, and culture, helping primarily women 50+ reduce pain, restore confidence, and build healthier relationships with their bodies. With more than 800 million views and 6.3 million followers across platforms, Tyler blends personal story, practical expertise, and emotional depth. His message resonates widely, making him a compelling voice in conversations around wellness, mindset, resilience, and the future of fitness.   Website Instagram Facebook YouTube Connect with me!

Is the Electoral College under threat? The growing push for the National Popular Vote could fundamentally reshape American federalism and state power. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano sits down with Trent England to break down the historical purpose of the Electoral College, the Founding Fathers' constitutional design, and the serious implications of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. This conversation explores why federalism matters, how democracy can conflict with individual rights, and what happens when civic education fails to explain the structure of the Constitution. What You'll Learn: Why the Electoral College was a deliberate constitutional compromise, not an accident How the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact could weaken state sovereignty The difference between pure democracy and constitutional republicanism Why federalism protects minority rights and prevents centralized power How civic education shapes the future of constitutional self-government The debate over the Electoral College is not just political. It is a question about the survival of federalism, the limits of democracy, and whether Americans still understand the Constitution that governs them.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Emma Murray and Dwayne Kerrigan move from awareness into practical performance tools. Emma introduces one of the most powerful distinctions in high performance: critique versus criticism.She explains why self-criticism is a survival response that quietly destroys confidence, slows learning, and locks people into repeated mistakes. Through examples from elite sport, sales, leadership, parenting, and everyday life, Emma breaks down how to review performance by examining the entire process — thoughts, feelings, actions, and results — rather than attacking outcomes or identity.The conversation also dives into fear-based leadership, tunnel vision, stress responses, and why people perform worse when they feel watched, pressured, or unsafe. Emma shares actionable techniques to regain presence under pressure, including breath, body awareness, and “small focus” anchors that keep the mind out of fight-or-flight. This episode equips leaders, entrepreneurs, and performers with a repeatable framework for learning faster, leading better, and performing consistently — even when stakes are high.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Emma on self-kindness under pressure and stopping the internal threat response01:00 – Dwayne intro + framing Part 2: turning attention and mindset into action02:00 – Critique over criticism: how thoughts drive feelings, actions, and results03:30 – Outcome focus vs process focus and why pressure hijacks performance05:05 – How to critique the entire performance process (thinking, feeling, doing)06:40 – Turning failure into growth by extracting the right lessons08:00 – Why quarterly reviews fail and daily reflection matters09:45 – Coaching teams beyond checklists and task correction11:25 – A-game vs B-game language and building awareness in teams13:40 – Leaders, fear, control, and psychological safety15:30 – Running toward outcomes vs accessing creativity and big-picture thinking17:30 – The “flashlight of attention” metaphor for leaders and parents19:40 – Stress responses, presence, and anchoring attention (breath, feet, listening)22:00 – Training attention as a performance muscle25:45 – Stress cycles, recovery, and sustainable performance29:10 – Introduction to the Closed Eye Process and presence training32:00 – Deep dive: critiquing vs criticizing explained step-by-step36:30 – Survival wiring, subconscious files, and performance memory39:30 – The CHIMP brain, danger signals, and slipping into B-game42:30 – Small controllable focus as the pathway back to A-gameKey Takeaways:Critique examines process, not personal worthThoughts drive feelings, feelings drive actions, actions drive resultsGrowth comes from extracting learnings — not from failure aloneFear narrows focus and creates tunnel visionSmall, controllable focus prevents fight-or-flightConnection reduces fear and restores executionQuotes:“Failure does not give you growth if you are not actually eliciting the lessons from it.” - Emma Murray“Feet on floor, bum on chair … Bring your attention to your feet, your bum, your breath … those things are gonna anchor you back into the present moment” - Emma Murray“When all this fails, use your breath” - Emma Murray“The human mind cannot carry two thoughts simultaneously.” - Dwayne...

The Epstein Files chaos has exposed serious failures inside the DOJ. Is it time for AG Pam Bondi to step aside? This episode breaks down what the Epstein Files reveal, what they do not, and why accountability requires more than document dumps and political theater. The controversy surrounding the Epstein Files has spiraled into confusion, speculation, and institutional dysfunction. This analysis separates allegation from evidence, examines the Department of Justice's handling of the release, and asks whether meaningful reform is possible. Covering everything from due process and the presumption of innocence to congressional grandstanding and structural oversight failures, this episode delivers clarity in a moment dominated by noise. What You'll Learn Why the Epstein Files chaos reflects deeper DOJ leadership failures The difference between moral outrage and prosecutable evidence How Congress contributed to the dysfunction through performative oversight Why chaotic disclosure without context damages public trust What a serious, structured accountability commission should look like What Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ can learn from the restructuring of the DNI under Tulsi Gabbard This is not about protecting the powerful. It is about restoring equal justice under law and demanding competence from institutions that hold immense power over American lives.

In the start of our 11th year, episode 572 of The Perceptive Photographer, I dive back into a often discussed topic that every photographer eventually faces: conflicting critique. It is bound to happen to all of us. That moment when two thoughtful people look at the same photograph and see completely different things. One person calls it powerful and restrained. Another calls it distant and unresolved. Same image. Same moment. Completely different reactions. When that happens, it can shake your confidence. So I thought we might try to unpack why critique in a slightly different way and remind everyone at the start of this 11th year that not all feedback lives at the same level. Some comments are about taste. Others are about craft. And sometimes the disagreement reveals something deeper about seeing in the image. After all meaning isn't owned solely by the photographer. It's created in the encounter between the image and the viewer. My goal this week was to share a simple framework to help you filter critique: How does it relate to your original intent? Is it about structure or preference? Does it resonate when you sit quietly with your work? Most importantly, I explore how you can separate your identity from your photographs so that feedback becomes useful instead of personal. If you're navigating disagreement in your own work or with feedback from more than one source, I hope that you can think about critique not as contradiction, but as clarity emerging through differences. After all the goal isn't consensus, It's understanding.

Episode 86 is up and running with a brand new show for 2026. Nick is hosting and holding the fort down, as he has a lot to discuss since the last episode. We start things off with one of the most anticipated albums of the last five years, with J. Cole's The Fall Off. Nick gives his honest thoughts about the two disc album and applauds it for the songs, samples, and interpolations, but boos it for three small details. Find out what quick report card grade he gives it. After that, Bad Bunny takes over the Super Bowl stage at Levi's Stadium and brings the culture with him during the 20 minute outing. From stars appearing to him bring Latin American countries together, Nick wants to know what the fuss was about during, after, and post his performance. Next, a person who hasn't been talked about on the show, Kanye West, issues an apology for his Jewish rants that he said years ago. West wants people to forgive him for his misgivings but listen to see if Nick is easy to forgive. Later, Bay Area rapper LaRussell recently sat down in an interview and told the hosts that as much as he respects Lil Wayne, the older he got, the more he realized that Wayne's music has no substance behind his music. Nick gives his thoughts on the Bay Area rapper's comments and find out if he agrees or disagrees with what he said.

What does it mean to be spontaneous? In episode 161 of Overthink, Ellie and David get spontaneous. They look at Aristotle's theory of spontaneous generation, at spontaneity's role in politics, and at the dark side of spontaneity. How do different cultures and physical spaces enable or inhibit spontaneity? What is the relationship between spontaneity and human freedom? And is Lenin correct in arguing that leftists need to resist spontaneity in political organizing? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts think through the relationship between spontaneity and habit, how spontaneity plays into the recording of Overthink episodes, and the habitual spontaneity of those with Tourette's Syndrome.

In this episode of More Faith More Life, Pastor Steve Gray confronts what he calls “the Therapy Gospel”. It's a version of Christianity that focuses on coping instead of transformation. He challenges the modern church's self-centered starting point and calls believers back to the message Jesus actually preached: “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.”Instead of beginning with guilt and anxiety, Steve urges a shift toward forward-moving Kingdom living, calling listeners to die to self, enter Christ's life, and walk in real transformation. This is not about feeling better. It's about becoming new.If you've ever felt stuck in church but hungry for revival, this episode will reframe how you see repentance, salvation, and the true Gospel.Key Takeaways:Therapy vs. Transformation: Pastor Steve Gray critiques the modern "therapy gospel," urging a return to the transformative power found in the teachings of Jesus, which call for a renewal and departure from merely coping with personal issues.The Kingdom of God: Emphasis on the need to understand repentance in light of the Kingdom of God being at hand—a calling towards living a life shaped by divine purpose rather than personal history or self-centered salvation.Critique of Religious Systems: Analysis of how contemporary religious systems often fail believers, leaving them feeling lost within a structure that should foster growth and enlightenment.Historical Perspective: References to Martin Luther's Reformation highlight how historical attempts to reconcile faith with personal guilt and anxiety have evolved, impacting present-day religious practices and beliefs.Redefining Conversion: A call to rethink the sinner's prayer and conversion experiences to ensure they align with biblical notions of losing oneself to gain life abundantly in Christ, invoking personal sacrifice and genuine transformation.

Settler Colonialism is the Disaster: A Critique of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina and During the COVID-19 Pandemic (U Illinois Press, 2026) is the new book from Dr. Cassandra Shepard, Assistant Professor in the Department of African American and Diaspora Studies at Xavier University of Louisiana. Published with University of Illinois Press, this encompassing and engrossing book focuses on the crises that have engulfed New Orleans, including the disasters of colonialism, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and COVID-19, taking the reader through their causes and impacts on not only a broad level but through the everyday and often traumatic experiences of the residents of New Orleans. The analysis moves from the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, to state-level post-disaster reconstruction contracts, to international forms of colonialism, and even encompasses Beyonce. This book, which is also includes poetry and a recommended playlist, is also very relevant to the current global moment. Shepard analyses the overlapping and intersecting disasters that have affected New Orleans through ideas of disaster capitalism and settler colonialism, demonstrating how Black and Indigenous peoples have been deprived of critical resources. The reconstruction processes following, and during, these crises have often sought to exploit the authentic New Orleans culture and vibrancy to further the consolidation of power, profit, and privilege of white elites, to the detriment of Black and Indigenous peoples. Shepard's book, Settler Colonialism is the Disaster, takes a multi-scalar view of settler colonialism and investigates how it has not only operated historically in New Orleans, but clearly demonstrates that it is a continual process that still determines reconstruction, relief, and other projects today. Shepard connects the ongoing violence and dispossession inherent in settler colonialism within New Orleans, expressed through structural responses to Hurricane Katrina and COVID-19, to other settler colonial projects around the world, such as in Canada, Israel, New Zealand, and Australia. Cassandra Shepard's new book is an exceptional, theoretically and empirically rich book that offers a new critique into ‘best practice' reconstruction, which demands attention. Settler Colonialism is the Disaster offers an urgent, critical view of the political economy of reconstruction, aid, and government responses; a view which is crucial to take seriously in our world today, plagued as it is by crisis, war, and settler colonialism. Elliot Dolan-Evans is a sessional lecturer in law at Monash University and RMIT. His research investigates the political economy of global capitalism, forms of international governance, and questions of war and peace. His first book, Making War Safe for Capitalism: The World Bank, IMF and the Conflict in Ukraine, is now out with Bristol University Press. Learn more about your ad choices.

Drawing on her personal experience—her father's time in federal prison—and academic research at Oxford, Abby offers a theologically rich critique of retributive justice models prevalent in the U.S. prison system. She explains how biblical justice prioritizes restoration and dignity rather than dehumanization, citing key themes such as the Shema and imago Dei. Abby shares firsthand accounts from interviews with incarcerated individuals, exposing everyday indignities—from food labeled “not for human consumption” to being stripped of identity and reduced to a number. With over 80% recidivism in the U.S., Abby points to countries like Norway where restorative practices and the “principle of normalcy” have dramatically reduced reoffense. The episode challenges listeners to rethink what justice should look like through a biblical lens: not just punishment, but humanizing correction rooted in love. It's a conversation that bridges theology, criminology, and real human stories—urging the church to see prisoners not as disposable, but as image-bearers.
